"Chronicles: Volume One", by Bob Dylan

Non-fiction, 2004


Dylan picks a few key points in his career in producing this hybrid of memoir and autobiography in what, ultimately, is an engaging, entertaining and occasionally laugh-out-loud account. In telling his tale, the lyricism and atmosphere of his song writing is retained, although the detail is nonetheless present in hugely convincing observations and memories. And contained within are some interesting tidbits – the protest singer famously battling his spokesman for the generation status, with a hankering for his family and life on the high seas in his yacht.
